SVP / VP, Financial Planning and Analysis

About the role

You will own everything FP&A from day one: the annual operating plan, rolling forecasts, long-range planning, lender and investor reporting, KPI design, GTM commercial reporting, and the operating cadence that connects financial insight to business decision-making. You will also play a central role in driving data integrity across the finance function - partnering closely with accounting, revenue operations, and our PE sponsor to build a single, trusted source of truth for company performance. This role requires someone who is equally comfortable resolving complex revenue reconciliations, presenting to senior lenders, rebuilding a financial close process from the ground up, and stabilizing a finance team through a period of change. If you have done all of that before and want to do it again at a company with real scale and real upside, we want to talk to you.

Responsibilities
